Scooter 4 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 3 hours ago, Vesper said: people are probably going to lose their minds over this, but maybe we should loan Pulisic out to another EPL club (one where he is starting every or most games) for the 2nd half of the season then take a season-end reconnoitre and perhaps loan him out again or maybe even sell him with a buy-back clause (would much prefer a loan) Crystal Palace would be perfect London, not a threat, and they have SHIT for wingers other than Zaha, plus Roy is a good teacher and a grandfatherly type who can help Puli with his confidence  Oh come on, show some balls, lend him to a team that IS a threat and has shit wingers: I'm lookin' at you Man U.  Of course, I'm not sure even Lampard is cruel enough to sentence the poor boy to a term in that shit-show. In truth, as a Dortumnd fan: If your not going to use him, can we have him back. Dormund's attack  has been much less dynamic this year. when compared to the last few games of the season last year when Pulisic was healthy and the team was running both Sancho and Pulisic at the same time.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An American media outlet thinks that the best american player, who isnt good enough currently to play at the club hes at, should go to a place where he will get more consistent gametime. That is fair By agenda, I mean how many times are they going to keep on talking about Pulisic in a week? Last Thursday, they had a debate about whether he should seek a move in January. Then on Monday, they had Steve Nicol saying there's no need to panic just yet. And of course yesterday, they wondered if he should go on loan. Like okay, he didn't even make the bench at Lille but it's not like his situation has drastically changed to discuss him like 3 times in a week, is it? It's not like Lampard has directly said he's not in his plans or something. Furthermore, it's only early October. If his situation is still the same come December, then sure, by all means discuss a potential loan move or whatever. But if he's starting/playing games by then, all this 'press the panic button' talk will look foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll hear stories about him constantly in ESPN because hes the face of the game here nationally. It would be like if Sterling or Kane were abroad not starting every game. It gets them clicks.

If they're going to talk about him, at least put up quality content aka talk about what can he do to improve, to get into the team etc. All their discussions have been like practically asking him to jump ship. That's a really pathetic mindset to have. LAM09 and Sir Mikel OBE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. ESPN's regular pundits are horrible. Only their guest pundits - e.g. Gab Marcotti, Sid Lowe - are okay to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a joy to watch in those games. Problem is it looks like we're only getting that version one game in ten. So basically Willian 2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 As much as I hate Willian and like Pulisic as a player, i can not belive how may people are demanding starts for Pulisic. Have a little patience. Other than the super cup Puli has been absolute shite. Always doing the same thing, sprinting down the line, scoffing his shot or falling over. Producing turnover after turnover. Leaving Azpi exposed. Willians introduction has stabilized us and improved the transition with his ability to carry the ball. Also he is positionally disciplined. No one noticed Azpis drastic improvement in form? Willian has helped him out a lot and we are not conceding goals from.the right almost every game unlike when Pulisic started. To my absolute disgust replacing Pulisic with Willian has been a clever short term fix to two of our most obvious problems in the opening games. I understand people want to see more of Puli, he is young, great pace, American, 60m signing etc and his time will come. But right now he is not what we need. shrenshah, Bosnian Blue and manpe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has the raw tools along with a decent attitude and I remember how hot and cold Mane and Sterling use to look and now look at them.

SUNZ 155 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I just want to know why Pulisic was bought in the first place. He didn't have a great season(s), his goals & assists record is lacklustre and he certainly wasn't worth the amount Dortmund were asking for. Everything about this transfer stinks.
